Lifting heavy on machines is fine. Go for it.
(I hear the leg extension machine is the devil, and you should never use it, but I've never had any pain ever from it. I don't use it anymore though. Why risk it?)
Just remember that when you switch to free weights (if you ever do) you'll need to drop your weight or you'll probably end up hurting yourself. Why? Because your stabilizer muscles won't be built up to support the weight your major muscle groups are pushing. You'll need to work on them.0
